You can always run it with `redir' under DOS, and make `redir' be an 
empty string under Unix (with a Make macro).  `redir' does redirection 
but without using redirection symbols, so Make doesn't call COMMAND.
Consider this (untested):

ifdef DJGPP
REDIR = redir -o myfile
else
REDIR =
endif
...
...
myprog: sources
	$(REDIR) ./progname ....


`redir' will redirect the stdout of `progname' to `myfile'.
